I'm on i386 on this system and I can see it's mplayer that's playing the
link...

which I presume NSPLayer (user-agent) means gecko-mediaplayer but I
don't know for sure.
I haven't quit firefox for a couple of days and I went back to the site
after you posted this. Perhaps you have detected an issue in x86_64 that
doesn't appear to be there in i386
note to original poster (Knute I think)...if you are using livna
mplayer, you have to comment out the line in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
#flip-hebrew = no
